Well if we can talk about suits!

Ladies where do you buy your bras?

Men where do you buy your ladies bras? (Don't want you feeling left out!)

Since becoming a mum I am now an F cup and struggle, so where do the bigger-busted amoung you shop for yours please?

Are they online only, or can you get them on the high street?

Was an F, now an E. My bra shop preferences haven't changed. M&S, Boux Avenue, Debenhams, Brastop, Figleaves, eBay, occasionally Ann Summers. Oh, and Bravissimo. When I finally reach my target size I am buying a set from What Katie Did so I can justify the expense.

I was an E now an F (band size decrease) and there's so much of the M&S Rosie Stuff that only goes up to an E!

I have most of mine from Debenhams

Do you find the sizes are "true"?

Thank goodness there is now a new independent shop, not far from me that stocks all sorts. I think they are the best places to get bra's if you can find one. Elsewhere I like Bravissimo and if I can find what I like in the sale or feeling flush, Rigby and Peller.

That's why I tend to go for ones I can try on (the Autograph range at M&S appears in a lot of my pics and the babydoll is an exact bra size one from a Debenhams sale) or buy brands online I already know my exact size in. I recently took a punt on a pink Curvy Kate set from Brastop and it's a perfect fit. Ann Summers stuff I find a bit hit and miss and unless I go to one of the bigger stores they don't tend to have my size to try on in all the ranges that go past a D cup.

I spend ages choosing a bra and then realise, they do not have my size anyway or like you say, it only goes up to a D or an E, so I should have just checked that before ploughing through the rail!

I swear by Bravissimo too and they are really great at finding the perfect fit for you! I've even travelled to the UK just to go to there and it's totally worth it, they will make you fall in love with your boobs!

I've used bravissimo for years, being an H cup it's hard to find good value bras as most of the supermarkets stop at F or G. The bravissimo shop in Brighton is great and they also do clothes. Now if Bravissimo would join forces with long tall sally that would be perfect for me.

Also 32gg, or h depending on the time of the month. I find a brand that fits well, then raid eBay.

Brastop is a good website for discounts on brands like Curvy Kate and Freya. I tend to get fitted in Bravissimo, and I also order quite a bit from Figleaves.

Asda mainly, they do big sizes and the bras last really well.

They regularly change designs too and some of them are lovely

Most women wearing the wrong size underestimate the cup size and sometimes overestimate the band size.

Last time I got measured I was wearing 38DD and should have been in a 36F. Once I was actually in the new bras it all made sense!

I'll get measured when I get paid so I can buy some new bras at the same time

Ok I got told this- standing up take a tape measure and measure under your bust- that is your back size.

Then leaning forward until your back is perpendicular with the ground and measure again with the tape measure over the fullest part of your breasts- touching the nipple.

The difference in measurements in inches is a cup size per 2 inches I think x

I got measured in rigby and pellar last summer till then I always wore a 42c when they measured me I was 38ff.

Lost a lot of weight recently so going back next week to get re measured.

Although got hold of the link for this woman at curvy Kate so might send her a picture see if she can really guess the correct size.
